A number of people have actually run into problems. You have been warned. :-) --- article.sgml.diff ends here --- Hello Marc, I am the author of the article -- in person if I may say so :-) As far as the 'typo' is concerned, I did it on purpose: I actually meant to reproduce a 'Freudian' lapsus (lapsus calami), i.e. reproduce the process of writing something and then making corrections (^W: delete a word). By the way, another such 'device' is e.g. ^H to mean you are deleting a letter. If the Documentation Project deems this, er, 'stylistic' device acceptable (for current standards of formality), there will be no need to remove it. On the other hand, if it sounds too informal, then let it be removed. Best regards, Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
